POTENTIAL AND DIGNITY

REZZY U. GOPEZ

Nowadays, some students did not take their studies seriously other than that poverty is also a big factor that causes a lot of youths not to go to school and just work in an early age, little did they know that they can save their lives more if they have knowledge.

Receiving a good education helps empower you, thus making you strong enough to look after yourself in any given situation, It helps you gain sufficient academic qualification so that you are able to get suitable employment at a later stage. In fact, according to an estimate by UNESCO, 171 million people could be lifted out of poverty only if all students in developing countries left school with basis reading skills

Yes, I know that school maybe hard sometimes, sometimes it can make you think you are stupid, idiotic and most of all a failure but don’t think like that no one is a failure, your weakness is not a basis for them to say you’re a living failure, maybe, just maybe you’re good on something that is far from academic, maybe you’re good on something that is for from academic, maybe you’re good in sports, literature, etc.

After all, all you need is study hard, make a progress, find your potential, live with dignity and most of all change your life for “Progress is impossible without change and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything”

So, go on, live the better!
